Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I got no time for this talk if it's easy
You better cut out my heart
All of your little incisions stopped bleeding
Are you sure your blade's sharp?
[PreChorus]
Oh, I think you cared for a minute
But I scared you, didn't it?
And if you don't wanna feel it
Then I know the feeling's hurt
[Chorus]
No, you're not the bad guy
You're just not the hero
I know that you think you try
So you can tell your mama
That you're not the bad guy
You're just not the hero
You're just not the hero
[Verse 2]
I get all covered in fluorescent feelings
And it's hard on your eyes
While I keep guessing if you really mean it
And your guess is good as mine
[PreChorus]
Oh, I think you cared for a minute
But I scared you, didn't it?
And if you don't wanna feel it
Then I know the feeling's hurt
[Chorus]
No, you're not the bad guy
You're just not the hero
[Chorus]
No, you're not the bad guy
You're just not the hero
I know that you think you try
So you can tell your mama
That you're not the bad guy
You're just not the hero
You're just not the hero
